00:00Plastics are among the worst polluters to all ecosystems

00:17and microplastics are particularly concerning

00:19they are from 5mm down to microscopic levels

00:23and can be harmful to all life

00:25contamination of nature often happens during transport by land and sea

00:30of plastic pellets that are used to make larger products

00:34at UDECODE we explain new regulation to reduce this pollution

00:39microplastics contaminate soil which can harm agriculture

00:43spillage into waterways and the sea leads to ingestion by animals

00:48including fish which are then in turn eaten by humans

00:52pollution on beaches also negatively affects tourism

00:55recent shipping spills have occurred in northwest Spain

00:59Galicia and in the North Sea affecting the Netherlands

01:03inadvertent consumption of microplastics can pose health issues

01:08such as lower fertility and cancer according to some scientific studies

01:13let's hear to what extent Europeans are aware and concerned about microplastic risks

01:19I think the European Union could decide to use less plastic

01:23both in the industry and in our daily consumption

01:26or even try to sensitize more people in the countries of the European Union

01:34It's everywhere

01:35which I mean isn't brilliant

01:38but I guess we don't really know what effects that will have long term

01:41I believe that they will have a lot of blood

01:43because they will have a lot of blood

01:44because the damage of their blood is a lot of blood

01:45I have heard that they can continue to be able to pass

01:50the blood that we have in the brain

01:52so they go through the circulation of our blood

01:54and have even increased in the health of the world

01:56they have increased in the health of the world

01:58Euronews reporter Gregoire Lowry has been following this dossier

02:02Quindi quali sono le nuove obligazioni per le compagni che servono plassi e per quelli che trasportano i plassi?

02:09Le grandi compagni che siano più oltre 1,500 tonni al anno

02:13devono avere una certificazione per una terza parte indipendente.

02:17Le piccoli compagni che siano più oltre 1,500 tonni al anno

02:22devono avere un'obligazione più oltre, come una certificazione di one-off

02:27in 5 anni dopo l'entrimento della regolazione.

02:30e le piccoli compagni che siano più oltre 1,500 tonni al anno

02:36e le microenterprie che dovrebbero avere una certificazione di un concorso.

02:41E in pratica, queste compagni hanno dovuto trainare le persone che lavorano lì,

02:46hanno più consapevolezza tecniche quando c'è un spillaggio accidente?

02:49Deve dovuto, perché contaminazione possono occurre a diverse stagioni del processo.

02:54Può essere la produzione, può essere la produzione, la distribuzione.

02:57in realtà dovrebbero avere tutte queste stagioni di organizzazione

03:02per assicurare che ridurano le perdone.

03:07Alcuni organizzazioni non governamentali

03:09sono un po' più critico, dicendo che ci sono troppo semplici,

03:13troppo delay per entrare in force.

03:16Qual è a stagione?

03:17Per esempio, le NGOs argomentano che la maggior parte delle SMEs

03:21rappresentano la maggior parte della stagione della plastica,

03:29accontano per 98% in conversione e 97% in transporte e stagione.

03:36Il settore del maritimo settore ha avuto un anno per il transito

03:43e le NGOs argomentano che la maggior parte della maggior parte dell'Europa

03:47sono già seguendo le regolazioni internazionale.

03:52E finalmente, perché non-EU compagni sono anche in questo regolazione?

03:57So, pellets are very mobile, they can be dispersed by air, water, land.

04:03It cannot occur at all stages of the supply chain.

04:07And the highest risks are actually in the loading and unloading.

04:12So, the EU wants to make sure to get all the companies within the regulations.

04:17Each year, the equivalent of up to 7,300 truckloads of plastic pellets

04:22are lost to the environment.

04:24The new rules are expected to reduce plastic pellet losses by up to 74%.

04:30But plastic pellets rank third among the largest sources of microplastic release

04:35after paints and tires.

04:37Textiles and detergent capsules are other significant sources of this pollution.

04:42Let's talk more about this topic with one of the shadow operators for this regulation

04:48in the European Parliament, Spanish socialist Cesar Luena.

04:52How can we guarantee that the companies apply these norms,

04:59especially those that do not belong to the European Union?

05:03Out of the territory of the European Union we can't guarantee anything.

05:06But those companies outside that work and operate within our territory

05:11will have to have a un representative autorized

05:13that explains how to comply with the European laws

05:17to every authority competente in the United States.

05:20So, if there is a disaster or accident,

05:24immediately we are going to see the company

05:26and we are going to have this representative autorized.

05:29Why will the maritime transport will have three years

05:33to comply with these norms

05:35instead of two, like the other companies,

05:37when the contamination of the sea is so high?

05:40Well, because countries like, I can name no problem, like Chipre, like Grecia,

05:46like Malta, like Croatia,

05:49yes, they would ask for those three years because they would need more time.

05:52In other words, we have suggested that the members of the European Union

05:55accept, for example, the proposal of the Parliament on the etiquette,

05:59that they would have the etiquette clearly

06:01where they describe the materials,

06:05and the dangers that they can have if they lose those materials,

06:09if they lose the soil or the water.

06:12For 2030, the Unions should reduce the liberation of microplastics

06:16to the environment in a 30%.

06:19Are they evaluating adequately other sources of contamination

06:23to achieve that objective?

06:26Yes, I think that yes.

06:28Everything is expected in the European Pacto Verde Europe,

06:31since the policies of circular economy

06:35to the policies that speak of urban urban areas,

06:39of water potable, of painting, textiles, etc.

06:42So, if we apply what we had planned, we will be able to achieve it.

06:48But if we doubt and we go to the extreme left, maybe not.

06:54The European Union has prohibited the plastics of one single use,

06:58and there are innovations such as biodegradable materials.

07:01But the Unions should not be more active in the promotion

07:05of alternatives to plastic products for consumers.

07:08We have, on the one hand, the Eco-Disex,

07:11the work in the Horizon Europe Program,

07:15and a one hand, which was reviewed in the past,

07:18on the recyclable materials and of a single use.

07:23I think that this set of three things should have a unique vision,

07:28a unique plan, and therefore, I think that we would be more effective.

07:33The violations of the new rules on storage and transport of plastic pellets

07:37could lead to fines above 3% of the company's turnover in the EU.

07:43The governments retain the initiative to initiate criminal proceedings

07:47in case of severe contamination, but the bigger challenge remains persuading people

07:53to use fewer plastics in our daily lives.
